In this episode I show how I made the cabinet doors, with emphasis on the simple design elements that enhance their looks; but the focus is on the nice (resawn) spalted maple panels.

Hi, Neil! Thanks for stopping by.
.
You know better than anyone else about splitting yourself and *actually* being in more than one place at once! I am enjoying being back in the shop, and trying to get things done.
.
Our granddaughters will take *any* opportunity to use hand tools. We love them to pieces!
Hi Al……excellent man, it’s not easy building a cabinet and shooting video yourself. Different set-ups, close-ups, you end up in 2 places at once… I like that shot under the FMT.
Bravo………Neil
PS….regarding above post….COOL taking the kids on a build.
Thanks, Mike.
Good catch
. I *did* rip the center stiles from the same board; but only after viewing the video, following publication, did I notice I screwed up the assembly! It mattered not that I marked all boards, that I marked them a second time to make sure I was still able to track them,etc., I managed to screw up during the glue-up.
I might redo the doors, depending on how bad they look after I rabbet the stiles, where they meet in the middle.
Al,
I enjoyed the video. I like that you took time to plan for the grain matching. I was thinking it could be taken even further by ripping the center styles from the same board
. I might do that on my next set of doors.
